Former US President Donald Trump's latest executive move, alongside the UK’s loosening crypto laws, has boosted investor confidence. Let’s explore the recent performance of the top ten cryptos over the last 24 hours to understand what’s driving the market today.

Ethereum (ETH) trades at $1,809.86, up 0.91% over the last day.
It has a $218.5 billion market cap and a trading volume of $15.07 billion.
Over 120.73 million ETH are in circulation. Ethereum’s growth is supported by growing DeFi use and demand for ETH staking.
Talks of Ethereum ETFs are also keeping investor sentiment positive. Solana (SOL) is 0.60% higher at $147.

87 billion and 517.66 million SOL in circulation. Cardano (ADA) has gained 0.

33% to $0.2440, having a market cap of $23.16 billion.

95 billion worth of trading. USD Coin (USDC) is also maintaining its position at $1.00, cap at $62.
07 billion, and volume of $9.07 billion. The stablecoins continue to provide liquidity and refuge for traders against volatility .
Dogecoin (DOGE) has fallen 1.15% to $0.1759.
Its market capitalization is $26.22 billion with $915.56 million in daily volume.
Although some meme coins are witnessing growth. The TRUMP Coin skyrocketed close to 60% following a gala attended by US President Trump. Bonk increased 50%, Floki 45%, and Pengu rose 130% within one week.
However, despite the recent hype, most of these coins are still trading below their former highs. Trump signed Executive Order 14178 , entitled ‘Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology.’ It removes past restrictions while creating a group of experts to recommend new crypto legislation within 180 days.
This pro-crypto move may pave the way for wider adoption. The US SEC has cleared ProShares' XRP Futures ETFs. The firm confirmed that only futures-based products would come to market, not spot ETFs.
The action represents a step forward in diversifying crypto investing opportunities. Many ETFs are filed and waiting for SEC approval by the end of 2025. At the same time, the UK said it would exempt foreign stablecoin issuers from future crypto regulations.
This would draw more international investment and enhance London's position as a fintech center. At the start of May, the market continues to experience volatility due to regulation, ETF inflows, and macro shifts. Bitcoin's upward movement, Ethereum's steadiness, and meme coin spikes indicate high interest.
Trump's crypto policy and ETF inflows have renewed investors' hopes. However, meme coin fluctuations and mixed altcoin performance suggest the need for a cautious approach..
